Another day of non-stop driving.
Fortunately, they finally arrived at Yunzhou Prefecture before dark.
And because of Wu Chengwei's protection, they never encountered any pursuit along the way.
Although it was already dark when we arrived at Yunzhou Prefecture, the surrounding scenery was still obviously different from other places.
Although this is the last state capital on the border.
But after all, it is the state capital. Even though it is so desolate, Yunzhou Prefecture is still much more prosperous than other places.
The tall and majestic city towers, the city gates guarded by soldiers, the beating of bell towers and drums, and the orderly roads all show that this is the seat of Yunzhou Prefecture and the most prosperous place in the border area.
But everything here is also full of a sense of order and desolation.
The days are long in summer. Even at this time of year in the capital, many people in the capital are greedy for cold weather. Even if the bells and drums in various cities are rung, people will not close their doors immediately.
They had to wait until Jin Wuwei left before going out and closing their doors.
However, the Yunzhou Prefecture is a different story.
However, as soon as the bell tower drums sounded, people immediately began to close their doors in a hurry. Some people even closed their doors early.
It is obviously still daytime at this time, the cool summer breeze is just right, and the clouds are brilliant.
However, no one appreciates this beautiful scenery, and the bustling city only looks a bit strangely desolate because of the absence of human voices.
Even Shen Fanghui, who originally wanted to see the scene outside when she opened the curtain, couldn't help but curiously asked, "What's going on here? Why is there no one on the street?"
When Zhu Zanxun heard Shen Fanghui's inquiry, there was only a hint of unnatural look on his face, but he still explained immediately, "It's curfew time now. Of course they have to close their doors early."
"But the days are still long now, and it can be a little cooler in summer at this time. If you open the door to let in some air, it can also be a little cooler at night. It should be very hot here during the day, so why do they close the door so early. Shen Fanghui asked still not understanding.
Hearing Shen Fanghui's question, Zhu Zanxun became a little impatient at this time.
"Why are you asking so many questions? This is a curfew rule."
After being scolded by Zhu Zanxun, Shen Fanghui naturally stopped asking any more questions.
However, thinking that this was probably where she would live in the future, Shen Fanghui never lowered the car curtain, and her eyes only wandered around the street.
However, at this moment, in this deserted street, she suddenly heard a loud noise.
"I beg you! I beg you, don't arrest me. My mother is dying, so I'm going to grab some medicine. I'm not a thief. I'll go back soon after grabbing the medicine! Sir, please be accommodating. Bar!"
On the street, a young man kowtowed to a few soldiers wearing soft armor and begged for mercy.
However, when faced with the young man's plea, they not only ignored it, but also threatened him fiercely, "It's curfew time now. You violated the rules. If you don't want to be jailed, you should give us the money quickly." Hand it over! Otherwise I will make you die miserably!"
Upon hearing the other party's threat, the young man immediately said nervously, "I have no money."
"You brat, you will be beaten if you don't have money!" After saying this, the man only winked at his companions.
Then the group of people immediately began to drag the young man up, and they immediately began to search the young man's body.
The young man naturally did not allow these people to search for his belongings. He immediately began to struggle desperately. However, he was clearly weak at the moment, so no matter how hard he struggled, the group of people just pushed them to the ground. , and the other person immediately took out a dozen copper coins from his pocket.
Realizing that the money he paid to treat his mother had been robbed, the boy immediately started struggling desperately.
"Give me back the money! Give me back the money! This is my mother's life-saving money! You can't take it away!" The suppressed young man
Nian was like a desperate little beast. He was suppressed and unable to move, so he could only express his resistance by shouting loudly.
However, this kind of resistance could not arouse the sympathy of this group of people at all, and one of the men even only returned a dozen copper plates.
He said rather unhappily, "Just a dozen copper coins, it turns out he is a poor man again."
However, although this person was unhappy with his words, in terms of actions, he did not return the dozen copper coins to the young man. He then only received all the dozen copper coins into his pocket.
The young man watched helplessly as all the coins in his pocket went into the man's pocket, and he began to feel a little dazed.
He murmured to himself, "That's my mother's life-saving money..."
However, facing his soliloquy, the group of people didn't take it seriously. They threw the young man to the ground, and then they just planned to walk away.
However, after the young man lost his grip, he immediately got up, not caring that he was covered in dust.
He just frantically chased after the group of people who were running away.
When he finally caught up with the man who robbed him of his coins, he immediately grabbed the other man's arm, and he only tried to pull off the man's clothes.
"Give me your money back!"
The man finally reacted when his clothes were pulled away.
When he turned around and saw that the person pulling him was the young man, he only had a very ugly look on his face.
"You brat! I see you are clearly looking for death! You don't want such a small amount of money to buy your peace!"
After the words fell, the man then punched the young man down with his own fist.
The young man didn't even react at the moment. He was already weak, so how could he be the man's opponent at the moment?
Then he punched the young man directly to the ground.
He didn't bother to put any more effort into this young man.
After all, even if he puts in extra effort, this poor guy doesn't have much money. Instead of wasting time here, he might as well hurry up and get some money from other people.
However, even though the young man was knocked down, he was still holding on to the opponent's thigh.
"Give me your money back!" The boy shouted very persistently.
Hearing the young man's scream and being unable to move while his trousers were being pulled down by the young man, the man's patience was immediately exhausted.
"Baby! I think you're just looking for death!" After saying this, the man immediately used his other foot to stomp the boy's head.
However, the young man had predicted his actions in advance. When he was about to start stamping on the young man's head, the young man just took one step ahead and hugged his other foot. As soon as the man raised his leg, the young man immediately grabbed the man's other leg. He fell to the ground.
The man immediately fell heavily to the ground.
Then the young man immediately searched for the man like a nimble monkey.
When the man finally reacted, the young man's hand had already reached directly into the man's pocket, and the young man was just about to turn over his own copper plate.
But no one expected that the man would suddenly grab the boy's hand before he could get the coin, and then he just grabbed the boy's hand tightly, and then he threw the boy to the ground hard.
The young man was pressed to the ground by the man in just an instant.
"Baby, I think you are just looking for death! There is a way to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell and you break in! Grandpa, if I don't beat you to death today, you won't know what your last name is!"
After the words fell, the man just punched and kicked the boy. At the same time, it was not enough for him to hit him. At the moment, he only invited others to beat the boy. The boy was not the man's opponent. Now A few more people came to beat him, but the young man had no ability to parry at all. He could only avoid everything crazily.
However, the men's fists were like a violent storm, and the boy could not
Can't get out of the way.
Shen Fanghui watched this scene with helpless eyes. Even though her heart was beating with fear, she just looked at everything here with great confusion.
"What is going on? What are they doing?" Shen Fanghui asked Zhu Zanxun in a puzzled tone.
Zhu Zanxun didn't know what was going on outside. He just asked impatiently, "What are you looking at?"
After listening to Zhu Zanxun's words, Butler Xu only glanced outside. Almost with just one glance, Butler Xu knew what was going on here.
He just said expressionlessly, "Miss Lu, this is just a disobedient little mouse who broke the rules. The guards are teaching him how to behave."
However, Shen Fanghui obviously still feels that this scene is somewhat familiar.
After all, she was not an eldest lady who was completely ignorant of the world, so at the moment she just said in a vague tone, "Wouldn't this be too cruel? The child's crime is not worthy of death, will they just beat him to death like this?" .".five
Hearing Shen Fanghui's words, Butler Xu just smiled and lowered the curtain. Then he said to Shen Fanghui in a strong tone, "Miss Lu, don't worry, they know the right amount. The child will not be beaten to death. They will teach him a lesson." , he will understand his own weight."
Hearing what Butler Xu said, Shen Fanghui knew that all he said was just to stop herself from pursuing the matter, so Shen Fanghui didn't say much at the moment, but she kept looking at the child.
It wasn't until Butler Xu lowered the curtain that she looked back in despair.
She deeply understood that she could not help the child, and everything was just the child's life.
After the curtain was lowered, the child was still screaming after being beaten, while the carriage drove away from the road mercilessly.
All intersections are cut off here.
However, what Shen Fanghui didn't know was that when she chose to give up rescuing the child, Wu Chengwei took action directly. He just fell from the sky, and then yelled at the group of people, "Stop it!"
